Five months after Lagos banned single-use plastics in the State, @NigeriaGov has imposed a similar ban "in all Ministries, Departments and Agencies of the Federal Government", in line with the 2022 National Policy on Plastic Waste Management.
Ban approved at FEC yesterday.

Good

Ok

Why

Nice move to safer environment

Na Lagos Dey tell una wetin to do Abi.

This ain't good enough. Supposed to be banned nationwide. I feel that Styrofoam is still being used to serve food in so many states in Nigeria.

Nice

long overdue

....but they are allowing Bill Gates to bring the more dangerous GMO foods

Hmmm

About time....this should have been since 2000

Omo as we speak, almost all the boutique owners in Abuja don Dey vex for me, because say I slash down the prizes of all my clothings.
With only sixteen Kay, you get quality outfit for my store, we deliver Nationwide with free delivery. see my profile topic if interested

its long overdue self

We want you to ban hunger too. That concerns we Nigerians most for now.

When are they banning corruption

It'll still be available... No be Nigeria again?

Misplaced priority. The directive is good though. But there are more pressing issues facing Nigerian. There is serious hunger. Prices of basic food items are out of hand.

Kenyans are already dressing the excesses of their leaders. All we get here is telling us to be patient, meanwhile our leaders cannot by patient when it has to do with their pockets.

Styrofoam is a cheaper alternative to plastic plates especially now that plastic plates are expensive and come at N200. Imagine buying rice N200 and meat N100 only to pay another N200 for something that you won’t eat whereas the N300 worth of food gets nowhere. People who can’t afford an extra N200 are forced to buy in Nylons which is no different from using styrofoam but nylons can sometimes be unhygienic.

The worry of the government is not that styrofoam causes cancer, it’s just because of its non-biodegradable nature which pollutes the environment. If proper wastage disposal mechanism was in place, styrofoam would have been very good to use

This will go down as bulabas only achievement

MichaelHueres:
Carcinogens??

Nope! Just because of its non-biodegradable nature and it’s pollution to the environment

Ik

Nonsense

Some people about to go jobless

Please ban this non sense Styrofoam nationwide. You need to see the street of Kaduna and Kano after rainfall. It has blocked all the line drains and water ways. Pls FG should ban it nationwide

Confused Government

Misplaced priorities.
